Inspiration Station Challenge - January 2026

Hello Friends and Happy 1st Monday of the New Year! It's time for a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog and we're starting off the new year with a inspiration prompt that's appropriate for this time of year:


I had to think on this one for a while, and thought about using any furry critter in a winter scene, but decided to do an internet search for Free squirrel images to color. I found a set of adorable squirrels at CraftStarters and used this cutie with his big acorn for my design team project.


I've colored the image using Copic Markers and the patterned papers are snippets from my stash.  The sentiment is from the Snowflake Season Stamp Set by Penny Black.  I've cut the focal and mat using a fancy die from Spellbinders and popped the focal on foam pads.


Lastly, I've added olive green sparkly enamel dots for added interest.  I've used the Cute Squirrels Set and you can find it HERE.

The team and I hope you'll stop by the challenge and share your inspired makes this month.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!
